A short train ride to Kameoka

The train ride from our old house to Dale's house is less than thirty minutes, but has to have some of the most spectacular views in Kyoto. After leaving Saga-Arashiyama station, the railways cuts straight through the mountains and bridges the Hozu-gawa a handful of times as the river constantly twists back on itself. While Hozugawa station sits on a bridge over a dizzying void, there are many other glimpses of pine carpeted valleys and turquoise waters that can only be seen from a train. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to take photos as the train emerges from tunnels for only split seconds. These are the best I could do.
